Hi, these posts are pretty old, but on the outside chance you'll get this, can you tell me what you know about the uncle, Philo F. McDonald? He married my relative Thirza Spencer and they moved to Ohio. Am trying to track down their family and would like to verify Philo's parents. One Herkimer County history says Philo McDonald settled in Ohio Twp. in 1818.<br>Thank you,<br>Leslie Lewis<br>P.S. Since my last post (below), I have found the maiden name of my Lucinda Smith.... she was born Lucinda Parrish, in CT, d/o Roswell Parrish and Anna Starkweather. Lucinda married John Smith of Columbia County, New York and they settled in Herkimer County. Although Roswell and Anna died in CT, several other Starkweathers did settle in Herkimer County.2015-01-05 06:11:19Zlewisparrhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.herkimer/3570.4/mb.ashxRe: staring family relativeshttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.herkimer/3968.2/mb.ashx

tomasker2,<br>I appreciate your effort in tracing William F. Hays. I am sorry I did not say more about the research I had already done (census, vital records, newspapers, land records, probate, etc.) in tracing the family from Little Falls, NY to Iowa and to South Dakota. I just did not expect that to happen since I only asked about Herkimer Methodist Episcopal 1850 church records. I am aware that death certificates may contain parents' names, but there is none for this William F. Hays because he died in White Lake, South Dakota in 1894, before SD required death certificates. I have his obit, but parents' names are not mentioned, nor are they in the church death record. William F. Hays had a brother, Jacob S., whom I have also traced, but he died in 1856 so did not leave much of a footprint. I have also tried to estimate who the parents are by following various Hays, Hayes, Hase, etc. in 1830, 1840, 1850 censuses for Herkimer Co., Madison Co. (where William F. was a homeopathic physician), Lewis Co. (where William F. was born: source 1855 NY State Census), but without children's names in the 1830 and 1840 censuses nor the right Hays birth dates, I have not come to a reasonable estimate. I was thinking that my last resort for finding parents names, other than checking probate records of every Hays in central NY, was the church marriage record of William F. Hays to Mary Francis Eaton. l am quite certain that they were married at the Herkimer Methodist Episcopal Church not the Baptist Church in Little Falls (where Mary Francis and her parents Parley and Phila attended) because the newspaper announcement of William F. and Mary Frances wedding said "In Herkimer.." and the officiating pastor was the pastor at the Methodist Episcopal church.<br>Please let me know if you hear anything about the existence of 1850 church marriage records.<br><br>Thanks for your reply.<br>Jon2014-11-11 21:45:02Zjonelson65http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.herkimer/3965.1.2/mb.ashxRe: Herkimer Methodist Episcopal 1850 church records?http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.herkimer/3965.1.1/mb.ashx

Tammie. Do you have any information on Esau &amp; Susannah Cole? They are on the 1800 census for Fairfield. I am trying to locate the death date and burial location for both of them. They were from Swansea,massachusets. They had a son Gilbert, who my husband is descended from. The information I found with other research on line, have the wrong death date for Esau. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

I've finally located a document which shows Urian Davis was married to 'Elizabeth'. A deed of property sold by 'Urian Davis and Elizabeth his wife' to Nehemiah Davis in 1819. The property was located in Schuyler, Herkimer County. It appears this is the same piece of land that was sold by Nehemiah Davis to Urian Davis in 1813.<br><br>I haven't found any marriage info for Urian and Elizabeth.2014-09-19 00:10:35Ztolencathttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.herkimer/240.2.1/mb.ashxRe: SCHAFFER-PERRY-ROCKWELL- (Bradley?)http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.herkimer/3957.1.1.1.1.4/mb.ashx

I found a probate listed in Saratoga County for a Nancy Knight [I don't know if this is Ida's mother or not]. It was probated in 1873 and she did have a will. The probate records are on familysearch but they are not indexed. The wills for 1873 are in Wills 1869-1874 book 22 and 23. and these contain 660 pages.I found the index for book 22 and she is not listed in that book.<br><br>I live in Saratoga County and I may be able to check it out later in the week.

I have been doing some extensive research on the Willard family and I think I have narrowed down the possibility for the father of Henry Hodge's. My best guess (unprovable) is that it was George N. Willard, son of Col.Charles Willard and his wife Mehetible Bullard, from Herkimer Co. I have been tracking down their descendant's and reading up on the ancestory of Charles. His brother was Charles Wellington, who's son (Henry's cousin) came to Watertown (as well as other cousin's).<br>Does anyone else have any anecdotal infomation on Henry parentage handed down through the family? If so email me at prfctwtr@gmail. Thanx!

Didn't get a chance to thank you for sharing your information, it was most helpful (even if I didn't<br>want to get it). I wanted to share a document about Carrie Schaffer that may interest you. I found<br>Carrie's registered nurse's certificate, issued in Troy in 1927. Her birthdate is certified as November 2, 1884. Birthplace Little Falls, NY. All this time I have been looking for records from <br>1881-1883.

Oh, OK, I posted the Knight information before I read this post. We have the same family though.<br>I found a TON of information about the Downs from burial records from the Menands Rural Cemetery. Apparently Ida is buried there as is Alonzo and many more family members. Ida died<br>in Sept. 1915 of bulbar polio; very sad. I had bulbar polio too and am grateful to have survived.<br>I tried to research polio epidemics in Albany but didn't find much; in my day most newspapers<br>reported names of patients during an epidemic. I thought I bookmarked that cemetery site, and<br>can't remember how I found it, but thankfully remember the name .

James Rankins served in the 1st New York Regiment, Continental Line, commanded by Colonel Goose van Schaick from March 1777 to June 1783 (Revolutionary War rolls: 1775-1783, series M-246, roll 65; Compiled service records, M-881, rolls 647-669; Fernow, Berthold, 1883, Documents relative to the Colonial history of the State of New York: New York in the Revolution, vol. 15, state archives volume 1). It is assumed that he was also the James Rankins who served in Captain Jacob W. Seeber’s company, Colonel Cornelius D. Wynkoop’s Regiment, in 1776 (Morrison, James F., 2014, Muster roll of Jacob W. Seeber’s company, revolutionary-war-newyork.com). Further, it is assumed that he was the James Rankins who settled in German Flats, in present day Herkimer County, New York, prior to the war. If so, then he was not killed at Oriskany in August 1777, as suggested in the book, Early Families of Herkimer County, New York, by William V. H. Barker, but was instead the James Rankins who died in Herkimer County between 1790 and 1800 (Clark, Beulah Woodard, 1942, Descendants of James Rankin, Sr. and Joshua Woodard and Margaret Rankin, his daughter of Herkimer County, New York and Michigan). If so, he was likely the James Rancan (sic) on the 1790 Federal census in Montgomery County, New York, and the James Rankin (sic) who, in the same year, received 600 acres of bounty land in the New York military tract for service in the 1st New York Regiment (Connelly, Michael, 1825, The balloting book and other documents relating to military bounty lands in the State of New York).2014-10-01 18:36:46ZStevenBentonhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.herkimer/3961/mb.ashxRe: Dervin Genealogyhttp://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.herkimer/54.3/mb.ashx

They had three children, Meritje, Catrina, and Augustus. <br><br>Martin served in the War of the Revolution under Colonel Peter Belinger and Captain Charles Parsons in the 1st NY Regiment for most of the war. He states in his affidavit that he fought in, along with other battles, the battle of Oriskany with General Herkimer and where the General lost his life due to wounds from the battle. He further states that he lost a brother in that battle. <br><br>The records for his marriage and his children's births/baptisms come from "Records of The Reformed Dutch Church of Caughawaga.
